When Habakkuk asked God to intervene amid the injustice he witnessed among his people, God’s answer baffled him: He was sending the Babylonians to conquer them.
In this episode, Adam, David, Corina, and Rachel dive into Habakkuk 1:5-13 to unpack God’s surprising and unsettling answer to Habakkuk’s complaint. Tune in to discover why we can trust God, even when we don’t understand His ways—and how to move forward in faith when life is hard.
